It's not part of the public API; it's just a helper function for other 
methods.

getDefaultBackendStoragePid() directly calls getCurrentPageId()

getCurrentPageId() does more than just give you the ID of the currently 
selected page; if that is not available it will look up the root page or 
the page of the root TS template or the default storage pid.
